The seconds of terror her 17-year-old daughter experienced at the sight of the 32-year-old Syrian man, who yesterday morning sexually assaulted the minor and two other girls in Athens, described the victim’s mother to protothema.gr, referring to a highly dangerous person who followed the child to their apartment building.

The video presented by protothema.gr shows the moment when the Syrian reaches the front door of the apartment building and stands doing obscene acts towards the minor. At the same time in the video the girl can be heard shouting “go” but the 32-year-old is not deterred and puts his hand inside the shorts.

The 17-year-old rings the doorbell on the intercom asking her mother for help while continuing to yell at the 32-year-old “what do you want? Go away now.”

As the student’s mother explains, the 32-year-old approached the girl and was following her around while, at the same time, he was masturbating…

When the 17-year-old girl asked him why he was following her, he went into the building’s porch to hide and the girl was saved thanks to the intervention of her cousin who, together with another person, immobilized the Syrian.

“This happened at 1.20pm, at noon. She was returning from school at that time.

A man there called the police because he was afraid to catch him alone but followed him.

He then attacked another woman and after he ran off into the street and found my daughter. My daughter was shouting at him ‘go away, what do you want?’ and he was masturbating. He followed her to the front door, she rang our doorbell, we let her in and she was rescued. He hid in the garage.

I got down and he walked past me unresponsive. I shouted at him ‘what have you done to my kid’ and he kept walking until my nephew and the other lad immobilized him,” the 17-year-old’s mother said.
